It's Fender Benders...on Familiarise Friday

Familiarise Friday welcomes Niecey Roy today who is under a short and snappy spotlight. If you don't know Niecey, read on, and then sample a fantastic little excerpt from her recent Wild Rose Press release called Fender Bender Blues.

 

Hi, Niecey. Where do you hail from?

Hm, that’s really tough to answer… I’m a Navy brat, so my dad had us moving all over the place! I was born on the Naval base in the Philippines, lived in Hawaii, California, Illinois. After my dad retired, we finally moved back to Nebraska to the small town he was born and raised in. We then moved to a much smaller town in Nebraska and that’s where I graduated. Moving all the time was tough on us girls, so my sisters and I were happy to finally put down some roots!

I've lived in a large city, now live in a rural village and know how different that can be. Where are you currently living?

I live in Grand Island, Nebraska. It’s not so small…about 50,000-something, I think. Much larger than the little town I graduated from that had a population of about 230!

What would be your ideal place to stay for a month?

I’ve always wanted to go to Italy and stay for about a month. But Greece, Japan and Scotland are all very close in the running! I cannot wait until I can afford to travel. We’re waiting until our two children—8 years and 6 years—are a bit older so we can take them with us so they don’t miss out! 

Good choices! What would you do there?

In Italy? Eat, of course! Ha! I would spend a lot of time sight-seeing.

There's so much more of Italy I still want to see - Greece, too!

Tell me 6 things about yourself.

I’m a bookworm, an optimist, passionate, a romantic, I love to laugh, and I am one of those people who are always trying to fix everything, including people when they seem unhappy. I hate knowing others are sad.

You want to change your lifestyle. What would you change first?

I would be more active. I spend too much time with my laptop on my lap or in front of a computer, writing or working. I don’t think this part of my lifestyle will change any time soon, though. I need both the full time, paying work to support us until my writing career takes off *crossing fingers*

I can totally understand whre you're coming from!  What leisure pursuits would you want to take up in 2013?

Anything that involves me relaxing. Relaxing would be nice. (J)

What’s your most favourite way to travel?

By car. I like to see everything. I would really like to take a train ride someday.

Our trains in the UK can be expensive, but are generally comfortable. 

Another question. What kind of novels do you tend to read? 

I read paranormal romances… Yes, I know, I’m a contemporary romance writer, so it seems odd that I don’t often pick up a contemporary. I don’t like to read in the same genre I write in. I don’t like to feel as if I’m being influenced by anyone else’s writing. I have dreams of writing paranormal, though, so there might be a time in the future, very soon hopefully, where I’ll be writing paranormal and back to reading contemporary!

Thanks for having me today, Nancy! I’d like to share my an excerpt from newest release with The Wild Rose Press, it’s called Fender Bender Blues, a contemporary romantic comedy.

Thanks for visiting, Niecey. I'd love to have you share it with us.

FENDER BENDER BLUES

“Now what?”

“Nothing.” Rach sniffed.

Craig shifted to eye her warily. “Since when do you answer me with single words?”

“Since I decided I’m not talking to you,” she answered with a shrug, crumpling up the white paper wrapper from her sub.  

Craig leaned his face in close to her neck and enjoyed the startled jerk of her shoulders. Her eyes opened wide in surprise. His breath shifted a few strands of hair at the nape of her neck as he whispered, “Why, because you want me?”

“You’re incorrigible,” she said, breathless, her cheeks flushed.

She’s enjoying this. The thought pleased him. Rach was on her back beside him now, her eyes closed. He glanced around the park to see if anyone was watching. No one was. He could swoop in for a kiss and no one would catch him. No one would care, he told himself. She won’t mind…

“I can feel you staring.”

Craig smiled down at her. “So what.”

She peeked at him with one green eye. “So stop it.”

“And if I don’t?” Maybe she’d tackle him, push him down on the blanket and…

She didn’t. She promptly closed her eye and went back to pretending indifference. “I’ll hit you, that’s what.”

“Not if I do this, you won’t.”

He’d only meant it to be a short kiss, but the pleasure of touching his lips to hers kept him there longer. Her tongue was velvet soft and warm against his and the slow mating of their mouths quickened his heartbeat even as he told himself, It’s no big deal, just a kiss.

She nipped his bottom lip and sent heat sliding through his body. The woman could kiss.

She whispered soft against his lips, “Now why don’t you admit that it’s you who wants me.”
